All teen and kid member reviews for Avalon High

Kids say

Sweet Romance

I say above eleven because I don;t think anyone younger would be interested in it.
I really liked this book. And it was clean. There is some kissing, but nothing outrageous. ;) It made me want to learn more about Camolt also, so it was education.

A Decent Film Destroyed by Overzealous Feminist

As someone who loves the original legend and good adventure films, I have to say that I found this movie fairly entertaining, but still rather disappointing.
I found most of the parallels being developed in the film interesting, including the love triangle between "Will," "Jen" and "Lance." These were well thought out, and kept both the professor and the teenager in me entertained. The acting was decent, and it was loads of fun trying to catch the moments when Gregg Sulkin tripped up on his accent.
Now for the bad. Don't get me wrong. I love plot twists; the less predictable the better. However, good plot twists are ones that you don't see coming, but never the less make sense once they arrive. This was not that sort of plot twist. This twist tramples every last one of those carefully built parallels and leaves behind an utterly demolished story.
It is actually very sad, as this movie could have been fairly decent if the writers had not felt the need to ruin it with their absurd ending.

Better than most DCOMs (3.5/4 stars)

It was predictable in some things, but overall I liked it. SPOILER alert: I don't understand how Ally could be the descendant of King Arthur. I know why they did it, but it doesn't make much ense. Like I said, though, a good film.
Violence: Some fantasy sword battles, but nothing bloody/goery is shown.
Sex: Some teens have crushes on one another; some kissing.

great for kids 8+, ok for tweens and teens

I actually was surprised at the quality of this movie. I usually write off Disney Channel movies as mediocre acting and predictable plots. I have to say, for this movie, the actors/actresses were extremely good and the plot ended up being a total surprise from what I had predicted to happen. Sure, there were definitely scenes where the actors should have practiced a bit more because it was kind of bad acting. However, the majority of the movie was extremely well acted out. The actors and actresses seemed very realistic and relatable and I could feel what they were attempting to portray accurately. This movie also had an impressive message, encouraging individualism and friendship. The chemistry between the two main actors was also visible and it didn&#039;t seem odd or forced like other movies. A few light kisses here and there, it might make your six year old "eww!" a bit, but nothing terribly explicit or risque (it is after all a Disney movie). Okay, so there were also some pretty lame scenes which will probably cause some eyes to roll. I felt the ending kind of left some questions unanswered, which isn&#039;t a good trait in a movie. However, unless you have the mind of an adult, the chances of these questions popping up are slim to none. These questions aren&#039;t dirty per se, but they are definitely questions that shouldn&#039;t even have to come up in a children&#039;s movie. (If you watch the movie, you would understand exactly what I mean). If you're a kid, this movie would be highly entertaining. Unfortunately, the twist in the plot kind of ruined the movie for me, because it just turned the entire beginning and middle of the movie into shambles, making the movie a big mess of questions and gaps. Overall though, it is a movie that encourages children to be themselves and have good morals, and Disney has pulled off a keeper with this one. It appeals both to girls (strong female lead) and boys (football and swords... enough said) so it is definitely a movie to watch with your kids, as long as they don't ask too many questions.

Awesome Movie, Surprise Ending

This movie was amazing and the ending of it was even more amazing. They said it would be a shocker ending. I think little kids might be interesting, but confused of all the talking of King Arthur, but kids 8 and up would be interested

Avalon High

I think it was okay , It was slightly entertaining but not really. I think it was slow and boring . It did not have a lot of action . Same with the books. I prefer more bloody books and movies or very sad ones.

I like this movie and the end was spot on

I Liked this movie because it gave you clues from the he beginning. It let you put together a prediction but it would be totally wrong.
A lot of people are saying it is a bad ending I disagree i think this movies ending was vary good and vary complete all of this came together the only thing did not like how they had to change who king Arthur is that was a little to much.

Surprisingly delightful adaption for younger kids

Although the book will always be the best, I found myself liking this adaptation. Although the plot twist *spoilers!* with Allie as King Arthur and Mr. Moore as Mordrid was a little upsetting at first (what with Will and Marco, respectively, being the original incarnations), the movie was very well made and very enjoyable. The new edition of Miles as Merlin didn't detract from the story; it only enhanced it. Overall very well done, and very appropriate for younger kids who aren't yet old enough to read Meg Cabot's book.

Avalon High

Very Good Movie.Not The Right Time To Hit On Disney.I Wonder Why Disney Picked This Movie.Well This Movie Is Based On A Series Of Books.Now That Tells Me Its Not Disneys Fault For The Bad Ending.(WARNING:Spoiler Alerts Are Here.Suddenly Mordred Is Actually Not Will's Bro But Its The Professer.Then A Big Flash Comes And They Are In The King Aurther Time And Somehow It Was Allie All This Time.)Ok Spoiler Alerts Are Done And Thats It.6+

Amazing movie!

It is a great movie! Kids as well as tweens would love it! There was a little romance problem between the football quarterback, his girlfriend (a cheerleader), and his best friend (another football player), but over all it was an amazing movie! To anyone who likes adventure and history, GO SEE IT!

Honest review

It was a great movie, especially cuz I have to write a report about King Arthur, this movie has cleared many doubts. The movie may seem a little different from the book, the ending is good but I kinda figure that it's (SPOILER ALERT) the professor n not his brother, but allie being King Arthur was kinda unexpected and good in a way since it shows that females can be leaders too. It's a very different n unique movie that is not really like Disney , since Disney only likes to focus on typical stuff ( high school musical, camp rock....). Though kids below the age of 8 might get kinda confused, u can explain what the ending is cuz it's not very hard to believe either.
